Kirk: How long will the repair take Scotty?
Scotty: 6h Captain
Kirk: You have 30 min!
Scotty: Aye, Captain!

At the time I found it funny.
Now I have realized that this is daily Engineer/Manager talk!

My salute to the man who inspired me most to become an engineer.

The joke in the now-many-decades-old text-based Star Trek computer game was
that repairs to the Enterprise always took considerably longer than Star Fleet
said they would...

My favorite line of all time from Star Trek was from Scotty when
he was talking about his career to someone. He had been made
an admiral or some such administrative poohbah, and he was
reflecting on his Star Fleet career :::::

" .....All I ever wanted 'ta be was an engineer on a starship ..."


................. I know the feeling....

"It's dead, Jim."
That's "He's dead, Jim." These three little words were surely
first uttered in a very tacky way concerning the death of Gene
Roddenberry, IIRC the first person majorly associated with the show to
die. I think it was Deforest Kelly, as Lenoard McCoy aka 'Bones'
himself who next died, who so many times spoke those very words to his
captain.

To make this slightly more S.E.D related, the man who so often said
"He's dead, Jim" was named after Lee De Forest, inventor of the triode
tube:

This isn't the quote I was referring to.

A quick google on "change the laws of physics" came up with a few
"I canna change the laws of physics"

My favorite line, I think, was when Bones ordered Scotty to
get some rest. So, Scotty was kicking back on his bed, reading
Enterprise tech manuals on the computer screen. Kirk or somebody
said, "I thought Dr. McCoy told you to relax!" Scotty, kind of
surprised, says, "I _am_ rrrelaxin', sirrr."

Thanks,
Rich

There was a 5-second snippet on the teevee nooz the other night, of
Scotty saying just that. Unfortunately, they picked it right out
of context - it would be nice to know what Kirk had just said to
him.

Heck, isn't the whole series out on DVD by now?

Thanks,
Rich
